Episode 25: Follow the Friction

In this episode of Write, Writer, Write! Deborah Froese explores how friction between characters—real or imagined—creates the momentum every compelling story needs. Instead of manufacturing tension through plot alone, she looks at how contrasting beliefs, desires, and emotional truths spark the kind of narrative energy that pulls readers forward. Through examples, reflection, and practical insight, she shows why following the friction leads to deeper, more resonant fiction.   Write, Writer, Write! returns in January, 2026.
